For centuries the human race has noted and
recorded for the following purposes: memory;
communication; problem solving and analysis;
creative thinking; and summarisation, etc. The
techniques that have been used to do this include
sentences, lists, lines, words, analysis, logic,
linearity, numbers, and monotonic (one colour)
usage.
Good though some of these systems seemed,
they have all used what you know to be the
dominantly 'left cortical' thought modalities.

Up to present, in Vietnam, the traditional methods used to map marine bathymetry are still very popular. These techniques have advantages of giving a high accuracy but still show big disadvantages of taking too much time for the data acquisition and processing and of being very expensive for the field works. Compensated to these cons the remote sensing technique seems to be an ideal solution since the images covers almost places on the earth with very high frequency (hours) of acquisition and served with a reasonable price even some of them can be downloaded from the internet for...

This paper describes automatic techniques for mapping 9611 entries in a database of English verbs to WordNet senses. The verbs were initially grouped into 491 classes based on syntactic features. Mapping these verbs into WordNet senses provides a resource that supports disambiguation in multilingual applications such as machine translation and cross-language information retrieval.

Chapter 5 - Linkage, recombination and the mapping of genes on chromosomes. This chapter includes contents: Gene linkage and recombination, the chi-square test and linkage analysis, recombination: a result of crossing-over during meiosis, mapping: locating genes along a chromosome, tetrad analysis in fungi, mitotic recombination and genetic mosaics.

Tony Buzan, author of the best-selling
Use Your Head and inventor of the
revolutionary Mind-Mapping technique, has acquired fame by improving the memory and learning capability of thousands of people. In this book, based on the latest research into the workings of the human brain, he presents an ingenious system for training the memory to achieve extraordinary feats. The book provides surprising, yet simple, techniques for remembering names, dates, phone numbers and appointments.

The Self-Organizing Map (SOM) is a neural network algorithm, which uses a competitive learning technique to train itself in an unsupervised manner. SOMs are different from other artificial neural networks in the sense that they use a neighborhood function to preserve the topological properties of the input space and they have been used to create an ordered representation of multi-dimensional data which simplifies complexity and reveals meaningful relationships. Prof. T. Kohonen in the early 1980s first established the relevant theory and explored possible applications of SOMs. ...

Advances in nanotechnology over the past decade have made scanning electron
microscopy (SEM) an indispensable and powerful tool for analyzing and
constructing new nanomaterials. Development of nanomaterials requires
advanced techniques and skills to attain higher quality images, understand
nanostructures, and improve synthesis strategies. A number of advancements
in SEM such as field emission guns, electron back scatter detection (EBSD),
and X-ray element mapping have improved nanomaterials analysis.

'People skills' are now recognised as being THE single most important factor for success in business. Managing Yourself is a practical, easily absorbed and implemented guide to the assessment and then continuous personal improvement of your emotional intelligence. It provides the reader with easily understood and workable models of how they think, feel, relate to others and perform in the workplace. Often your emotions hold you back or deflect you off course. This book shows you how to master your emotions and get the results you deserve.

HTML and XML for Beginners provides Web coding beginners with a concise guide to the world of Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), and previews even more powerful alternatives such as Extensible Markup Language (XML). Rich in examples, the book walks the Web beginner through basic HTML techniques such as creating and publishing Web pages, formatting text, adding graphics, and creating hyperlinks.

Everyday, millions of medical images are produced worldwide, to aid diagnosis and treat‐
ment of patients. A typical patient’s diagnostic work-up is often incomplete without a medi‐
cal imaging technique. The various techniques for achieving this have continued to evolve,
from the basics through the sophisticated and now to the abstract.

Agreat real-time game character can be measured by the success of
five elements: the character's design, the model built on that design,
the texture map applied to that model, the animations that bring the
textured model to life, and the sounds that complete the package. Making
sure your character is built to move means that the design is achievable,
the model supports proper form and function, and the texture map is of
the highest quality.

Photogrammetry from aerial platforms has been recognized since the 20th century as
an important technique to map aerial grades, cities and regions. The modalities known
as terrestrial and short distance have also been used, although in lesser proportion, in
architecture, to survey historical buildings and monuments.

provides definitive and comprehensive information on OpenGL and the OpenGL Utility Library. The previous edition covered OpenGL through Version 2.1. This seventh edition of the best-selling “red book” describes the latest features of OpenGL Versions 3.0 and 3.1. You will find clear explanations of OpenGL functionality and many basic computer graphics techniques, such as building and rendering 3D models; interactively viewing objects from different perspective points; and using shading, lighting, and texturing effects for greater realism.

Heuristic Search is an important sub-discipline of optimization theory and finds applications in a vast variety of fields, including life science and engineering. Search methods have been useful in solving tough engineering-oriented problems that either could not be solved any other way or solutions take a very long time to be computed. This book explores a variety of applications for search methods and techniques in different fields of electrical engineering.

GIS has been coming of age. Millions of people use one GIS or another every day,
and with the advent of Web 2.0 we are promised GIS functionality on virtually every
desktop and web-enabled cellphone. GIS knowledge, once restricted to a few insiders
working with minicomputers that, as a category, don’t exist any more, has
proliferated and is bestowed on students at just about every university and increasingly
in community colleges and secondary schools.

Artificial neural networks are learning machines inspired by the operation of
the human brain, and they consist of many artificial neurons connected in parallel.
These networks work via non-linear mapping techniques between the inputs
and outputs of a model indicative of the operation of a real system. Although
introduced over 40 years ago, many wonderful new developments in
neural networks have taken place as recently as during the last decade or so.
